I love seeing oil in my Rad overflow - you just know the oil is getting everywhere!

I would thoroughly advise AGAINST going to these guys! I took my 2.5 WRX to them for mapping and they gave it back completely failing to spot it had 2 blown piston rings. Even after me questioning the figures, and issues I had with "blow by" etc.. they re-checked it and still gave the thumbs up!
It may be an isolated incedent but I got nothing but POOR service from them!

FYI Andy Vey from Triton has set up on his own in Verwood - have used him up there for some minor work - he is very helpful and appears to know his stuff

My vote is still for Subaru4You though
